Dear people, please friend needs advice. She got a job in Canada and trying to process her visa and about paying for Medicals but the agent told her she can do medicals by proxy instead travelling from sokoto where she’s based to Abuja, but will cost money cos they have someone in there.
Has anyone experienced this before? What do you guys advise?
She should immediately dismiss that Agent and get another or better still do the application herself. That's like telling someone else to go for your biometrics

Sir please i want to get something right here...

1) Like how much is regarded as lumped Sum; my reason is this my inflow are majorly in 7 figs and 8 figs cause i deal on FX. in my case do i need to be explain why 14m came, why 9m drop, why 10m dropped...?

2) since am going with family do i need to also leave some good volume in my spouses account?
1) lump sum is a sum far greater than your usual deposits eg if your account monthly inflow has been averaging N10,000 monthly then even N100,000 or N200,000 becomes a lump sum. So if you have been averaging such amounts regularly it shouldn't be a problem.
2) As the principal applicant. You can hold all the POF for the family

Can someone kindly suggest banks that process Form A for PostGrad Certificate programs? I read a while back that not all banks do. Also, what are the fastest banks right now for CAD payment? Thank you, @all.
Almost all of them process Form A for PG programs. All of them are slow unless you have an insider

Good evening house, please I need help and it's urgent. I'm a first timer here. I applied for MBA with my family. Myself and hubby went for biometrics 6th of Feb and on the 9th of Feb our medical and biometrics was passed but my hubby biometrics was passed in the 14th of Feb and it was only his medical that was passed on the 9th. Here is where the problem lies, 2018 October my hubby tried to apply for Canada PR through an agent with few of his colleagues at work, along the line it was discovered that the agent was a fake and the visa given to them was actually a fake visa. That very year when they got to lekki vfs, out of about four of them it was only my hubby that wasn't given the print out they were meant to take along for the biometrics, mean while the agent was with them at lekki vfs, so my hubby asked his own as he was told he won't be able to do the biometric without the print out, so the agent went him to speak with one of the state's over there handling the biometrics and hubby wasn't aware of what they discuss but after a long while he was eventually allowed to do the biometrics and by the time the visa came out, it was discovered to be a fake one which eventually spoilt their passport and hubby just find a means of getting another passport done. When they tried to investigate the whole process it was discovered that the visa was refused but no one knows how the agent got a fake visa vignette he put on their passport. Later my hubby's colleagues got a visa refusal mail but only my hubby was unable to get any refusal mail just like he couldn't get the document for his biometrics. When he was trying to know reason he was the only person who didn't get refusal mail, it was discovered that the agent didn't apply for him and he did biometrics. So the whole thing was confusing and we just forget about it. Now, this is where I need help, by the time our biometrics this year february was passed, my husband biometrics was traced back to that 2018. The one he did 2018 October 5 was the one that was showing on the portal while mine was showing 6th february. Meanwhile we didn't declare any canada refusal except for the UK refusal we declared. Please house what do you think we can do. How do you think we can go about this as we don't know what is at the back end and what they might have seen in their data base. PLEASE OO HOUSE HELP ME.We are can't even reach the agent again to ask him few questions in other to know what mail to send. We are totally confuse right now
Tbh this situation seems quite complicated and it might have probably have been best for you to apply alone and then have him join you later. As of now I don't really know what kind of "help" that can be offered to you. All you can probably do at the moment is wait and see. As for your husband, were you with him 2018 personally or is this what he told you? because you won't even be allowed entry to the building without a biometrics appointment and your name will have to be on the printout at the gate. Like I said you probably just have to wait and then deal with any issues that come up

Hello guys,
Pls I need your advice, so my approval came in last week Tuesday.
And I was meant to resume with the January 2023 intake.

My school already deferred me and gave me the admission letter for January 2024 and has waitlisted me for May and September 2023 since I was still waiting for approval from IRCC.
Also I have paid my tuition fee in full

So my questions are this,

I would like to know if I can still travel this Feburary with my January 2023 admission letter and probably let them know at POE that my approval came late. (Has anyone had this kinda experience before )

Secondly will they expect I have an enrollment letter already since I have a receipt showing I have paid in full or the enrollment letter isn’t compulsory ?

Pls guys i need your advice 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Inform the school of your visa decision attaching evidence I'm sure they will put you on a May or September slot.

Please if i want to be my sister's sponsor, Is $20,000 cad enough proof of fund after making school first semesters fee payment?
Just want to be sure before starting the whole process. Thanks
Minus 10,000 out of the 20,000 as living expenses for the first year so that leaves you with 10,000
How much is the remaining balance of the school fees?
How are you the sponsor expected to survive after giving out all of that from your account .

I think it's through from A which is CBn rate...are u saying paying with USD is more faster than paying in CAD
I'm saying USD (Pounds as well) is a lot more common and easier to get than CAD in Nigeria. Most of the delay in Form A is because "scarcity of funds" so there's no need giving yourself extra delays with an even more scarce foreign currency.
Besides that if I remember correctly when I did my Form A the only currencies available were USD, Pounds and Euro unless I'm misremembering.

@house, which is the better option for Form A payment via Flywire? Should I choose "International bank transfer in CAD" or "International bank transfer in USD''? Tuition on offer is quoted in CAD. Thank you.
USD is more easily accessed at the black market and accepted at banks than CAD

Even if he has 1million cad in his account, he still has to show commitment to sponsoring you especially as you are not a direct family member (sister-in law) by either paying your school fees or transferring the money for your school fees/expenses to your account

Pls house is Canada visa application something one can do by himself or one has to consult an agent! I just gat an admission which I apply myself, thinking I could do the visa process myself or get an agent for it..any advice on this pls
Its definitely something you can do yourself. A lot of people did it themselves and got their PPR myself included. Like the person who replied you earlier, all that is needed is willingness to research. Go through the thread especially the first page. You can still top it with some external Google research. This is a decision of a lifetime and so requires much personal commitment and no matter how much you pay someone to do it for you even if it's one million naira, it can never be treated with the same importance as a personal project. Though there are reputable ones but even those ones cannot do more than work with what you give them. Example if the money in your account cannot cover your tution and living expenses for the first year there is no magic any agent can do to get you approved. And a lot of mischievous ones also abound who have caused several problems including the dreaded 5 year ban for their clients. Some will just collect your money and not even submit anything and just be lying to you but at least that one is better than visa ban. Just two posts below your post is another example of someone in agent wahala.

Do we need to apply for an appointment before going to submit his passport? How much is the DHL fee? Where is the best location to submit ?
If it's the same place you did biometrics you can do walk in submission free of charge. Usually around 8-10 in the morning

Hi Bambi
For your first application did your eligibility start? And how long after eligibility started did they refuse your application?
I feel There is no need to be so bothered about all those eligibility and the rest. They might be working on it but not update on your portal. My application was November 2nd. PPR January 18th but my eligibility did not start and update as completed till January 27th(I believe this was when my passport was stamped because I got about 3 VFS emails that day and LOI the next day). My background check was also shown as completed November 4th but also wasn't updated till the same January 27th.
I think from what I have noticed on this thread and my own application: medical update/request is usually the biggest sign that a decision is close. My upfront medical was updated to pass January 10 and the PPR came 18th. Other timelines are usually similar after medical update/request

Good afternoon Japa fam!

I was just refused based on:

• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

• Pursuant to paragraph 220(b) of the IRPA, I am not satisfied that you have sufficient and available financial resources, without working in Canada, to maintain yourself and any family members who are accompanying you during your proposed period of study.

I have already ordered CBSA notes on the 7th of January, but eligibility started on the 18th of January. Do I order another one now, or wait until February 10, when the notes will come out?

November 7th Applicant, self sponsored.
Red River College
Tuition deposit (3000CAD) paid
Tuition balance (18,000CAD) was in process via FormA when I submitted, it was successfully paid on 13th January and uploaded receipt via webform.
MBS with cash in account 13.5M
company bank statement of 25M inflow / outflow
Stanbic Bank statement containing tuition balance of around 5.6M
Kuda Bank Statement showing crypto liquidations.

Appreciate any help please!
